I have developed a GUI app using wxHaskell
I develop using GHCi - invaluable
I can run the application once form GHCi, and then a re-run crashes, but
- usually after a run there is enough time to re-start GHCi while I tihnk
about what
needs fixing next
- usually I can still run tests and queries from GHCi afterwards...
This works because I develop in Windows using GHC 6.10.4 wxHaskell 0.11.1.2
- I haven't upgraded because I believe the GHCi behaviour worsens on later
versions of GHC
(I'm open to correction on this)
- a student of mine has been able to build it on linux using the latest
versions of everything
- I had to revise some of my code simply because later GHC versions introduced
new keywords
So - to summarise
If you are happy to develop using 6.10.4, on Windows then wxHaskell is
workable with GHCi
It seems to then build ok on Linux
Alas - I have yet to be able to build it on Mac OS X (Snow Leopard)
The app ? - see http://www.scss.tcd.ie/Andrew.Butterfield/Saoithin/
